Soul Adventure School Blog

I've made a separate blog for our homeschool. Family stuff will always be here at this blog, but all school related stuff will be there to serve as a record of what we are learning. I will update it every week with what we have done.

Soccer Season Is Here!

We're so happy that soccer season is starting. Haridas is doing great with it. We've gone to two practices so far. There's only 5 boys on a team, and no goalie. I tried to take some pictures, I hope to get some better shots next time.

Pictures From Grampa Don's Visit

My dad visited us this past week, and we all had a great time together! Here's some of the great pictures we took:

Leafy...the BUTTERFLY!

Six days after going inside the chrysalis, our little Leafy the caterpillar came out as a beautiful butterfly. It was quite exciting. We let his wings dry in the sun, and as I was taking pictures, he flapped his wings a few times and then took of flying. We're so thankful that we were blessed with the experience!

Leafy the Caterpillar

It is illegal to mail those fun butterfly kits to Hawaii, so I thought that we wouldn't be able to watch a caterpillar turn into a butterfly. But then Dad found a beautiful caterpillar, just a few weeks after we studied butterflies. Haridas named him Leafy, since we saw him eat through leaves so fast. After 2 days, Leafy climbed on the stick, hung upside down for a while, and then began to make a chrysalis. We didn't know until now that the caterpillar's head actually falls off! We look forward to seeing what kind of butterfly Leafy will become. I could not find any information to identify what kind Leafy is, so it will be a fun surprise!

Navin's 2nd Birthday

We have a wonderful day for Navin's 2nd birthday. He was very, very happy and thankful for all of the nice, new toys. Thank you everyone who sent cards and gifts. Here's some pictures!

Lookin' Cool For BIrthday #2

Here's some recent pics as we approach Navin's 2nd birthday! He dressed himself up like this and was ready to brush his teeth!

Homemade Crystals

When we were learning about rocks and jewels, we started making sugar crystals (rock candy) by letting some cooked sugar water sit in a jar with a string hanging in it. After 3 weeks, we had some beautiful crystals! We fed it to the ants outside afterwards. The camera doesn't quite capture all the beauty of our homemade crystal.

Haridas Live Acoustic

Here's Haridas playing his new guitar. He loves it and is getting better with everyday practice (at strumming).

Dragonfruit

This fruit is so great. It grows on a plant that looks like a cactus and tastes like a kiwi strawberry watermelon! We just had to take some pictures of it while it's in season here.

B Is For Butterfly

Here's Haridas as a beautiful, big, blue butterfly!

J is for Jewels

After learning about rocks and the letter R, we moved onto jewels and the letter J. We made our own jewels with dots of glue dried on tin foil, which we colored and peeled off, then glued onto a crown of tin foil. Here's some pics of the beautiful crown! You can't really tell in the pictures, but the jewels are clear and colored like crystals and gems.
